Bank of America Plaza, Skyscraper in Downtown Tampa, United States.

Bank of America Plaza is a 42-story office tower at 175.87 m (577.0 ft) in Downtown Tampa, completed in 1986. Its facade is a grid of light gray stone or concrete columns framing vertical stacks of teal-tinted glass, narrowing in setbacks near the flat top, where dark blue letters spell "Bank of America" beside a red and blue flag-like logo. A vertical strip of darker windows and projecting ledges steps in a zigzag down one side.

The building opened in 1986 under the name Barnett Plaza as Tampa's tallest structure at the time. It held that position until 1992, when another tower surpassed its height.

The tower was originally named Barnett Plaza, after Barnett Bank, and only took the Bank of America name later. Its 42 floors hold about 20,000 square feet of rentable space each, 783,930 square feet in total. The dark blue "Bank of America" letters and the red and blue flag-like logo sit at the top of the facade.

The tower occupies the block at 101 East Kennedy Boulevard, between North Florida Avenue and North Tampa Street. Its 42 floors and 175.87 m height make it a fixed reference point when walking the downtown grid; the main entrances face Kennedy Boulevard. The building is an office tower, so interior access is limited to tenants and their guests.

On January 5, 2002, 15-year-old Charles Bishop flew a stolen Cessna 172 into the tower; he died, but no one else was hurt because it was a Saturday. A note in the wreckage voiced support for Osama bin Laden, and his family later sued Accutane maker Hoffmann-La Roche for $70 million, though an autopsy found no trace of the drug.
